feels later than it is
despite the time change only being one hour, Chloe and I are feeling the effects of getting up way too early and going back in time. I was up around 5am, a bit earlier than I have been getting up (thought I’d love to rise that early on a regular basis!). Then we traveled to
Seeing: J. Lorraine Ghost Town (outside Austin)
Chloe and I arrived in Austin on an early morning flight from Atlanta and settled in at my parents’ house. After a couple hours of hanging out at the house and down by the river where Chloe even found some nice fossils, we decided to find something to do. My parents had been to a
chloe – 25 mar 2011
Chloe, crazy chloe.
Nervous, Anxious, Happy
Chloe has been a ball of uncontainable energy for the past couple of days … A few weeks ago, she was invited to tryout for the gymnastics team. Or pre-team. Or training team. Obviously, I have no idea what any of this means. Since I was sitting on the floor at the gymnastics center when
Photo Friday: Panola Mountain State Park
On Tuesday, we went to Panola Mountain State Park, just east of Atlanta. While we spent most of our time in the area near the nature center, we did take a short drive to the other end of the park where the bike path runs. It is an area we hope to return to once
sunflowers – 24 mar 2011
As I ran into Kroger to “pick up a few things” — what day do I *not* run into the store to pick up a few things? — I saw gorgeous sunflowers at a gorgeous price. I hoped that the cool temps of the day would make it so they would not die before I
Around Atlanta: Panola Mountain State Park
A gorgeous spring morning in Atlanta deserves an outing! With our new Georgia State Parks pass, we decided to head over to Panola Mountain State Park. Similar to Arabia Mountain, a DeKalb County park, the park features a granite outcrop. Unlike Arabia Mountain, access to the outcrop is limited to guided tours, mostly on the
weathering the weather
Today, despite being it being Thursday, I am surprisingly content and relaxed; the Thursday run-a-round isn’t bringing me down for a change. Perhaps this is because I am feeling healthier than I have in a long time (fish oil? blueberries? low-carb?). Perhaps this is because I don’t feel behind at work (though I will be
pollen-free flowers – 23 mar 2011
Though I be they do have pollen on them like everything else in Atlanta at the moment.

The girls went “biking” at Panola Mountain State Park …
Do you know these people?
Seriously, I have to wonder who these people are. I don’t think I know them. Do you? Where do they come from? In the past few days, I’ve been researching (read: “googling”) a number of topics, and I find that the answers to questions (Yahoo questions mostly, I think) and comments on forums and blogs
Travel Tuesday: Weekly Favorites for 22 Mar 2011
We’ve now been home for over a week, and I’m itching to go again. I think we’ll head out for a day trip on this gorgeous spring day. I love what I’ve been reading out there on the web, and I’d love to share my highlights with you. Here are some of my favorites from
trees – 21 mar 2011
I love this trees sculpture. I bought it at a non so fun place, the Signal catalog, I think, but I still like it. It was on the wall by the front door inside our old house. Here, out on the porch…weathering well!
cranky momma in the kitchen
Not the cooking part. I actually don’t mind that bit very much, and, now that Camille is doing a bit of the cooking, it isn’t a problem. Not the cleaning part. I admit, I do get very cranky when the kitchen doesn’t get cleaned up. Or when food gets left out in pots or on
turtle – 20 mar 2011
I wasn’t much in the mood to take photos today, but I did take a few, like this weird one of the turtle hanging on the wall in our dining room…
frustrated, but trying to get past it
This weekend was a rare gem in which I had almost no pressing tasks to get done. I could finally embark on my “long term” to do list of “fun learning” challenges for myself. But it didn’t turn out to be so fun at first. I have this long range vision of mastering WordPress to
Seeing: Dauset Trails
While camping at High Falls State Park just south of Atlanta last weekend, we decided to take a short side trip to visit Dauset Trails Nature Center, a “private, non-profit nature center based on environmental education”. We easily found the center. There were quite a lot of other families there, picnicking and enjoying the beautiful
garden – 19 mar 2011
Rob and the girls picked up some new plants for our garden and planted them today on this gorgeous spring day. I hope that we have some better luck with the garden this year!
overcoming inertia
this morning, I had no desire to head out to a book club brunch. I had a handful of reasons for not wanting to go, but I reminded myself that it would be great to see friends and hang out, so I pushed myself out the door and ended up having a great time. Why
